  Time now for back to the basics and healthcare with Balance Life Chiropractic, and
• 0:03
  we have doctor Harley with us. Hey you doing, doctor Harley. Hey
• 0:05
  John, Another great week ahead. Yeah, get a little bit of rain
• 0:09
  that's been going and which is kind of unusual this time of year. Usually
• 0:12
  you think that's like the April showers bring mayflowers, but we have June showers.
• 0:17
  Yeah. I don't know what that brings. I mean, it's been
• 0:19
  nice and rainy, but that's also leading to more gardening and mowing the lawn.
• 0:25
  Yeah, all the things more so absolutely. Now you told me headed
• 0:29
  to what we're going to talk about, but I still don't know what are
• 0:31
  we going to talk about? Now? Talking about torti collis. Oh that's
• 0:34
  really good with red wine, isn't it. Oh that's tortellini. No,
• 0:37
  No, it's a torti collis. You know, you might be more familiar
• 0:40
  with it with babies. It's when their head is turned to one direction.
• 0:44
  It seemed like they can't really turn it or it's not comfortable to turn the
• 0:47
  other direction. Yeah. Yeah, so very common with babies, you know
• 0:50
  when they first come out, because you know they're all scrunched up in the
• 0:52
  womb for nine months. Then like with babies here, they're not necessarily enjoying
• 0:57
  both sides, like turning their heads, so like if they're bottle feeding or
• 1:00
  breastfeeding, they're always kind of holding to one side. It's not comfortable to
• 1:04
  go to the other side. But you also can see it in kids and
• 1:07
  adults as well. I've had it where like I wake up wrong and it
• 1:11
  hurts to turn. Is that the same things as something different? It can
• 1:14
  lead to the Torti collis. Yeah, I mean it's kind of similar that
• 1:17
  you just struggle turning your head to one way. Well, it becomes more
• 1:19
  of an issue when it's not getting better, and so we actually see chiropractic
• 1:23
  can really help with torti collis. You know, there's different things. As
• 1:26
  an adult, you could do massage, you know, you might get some
• 1:29
  injections from your doctor, but chiropractic is a great natural way to help with
• 1:33
  that. What happening. What's happening a lot of times is your cervical spine,
• 1:37
  so your neck is out of alignment and you're not able to turn your
• 1:40
  head because those bones are stuck and not moving. Well, that's going to
• 1:44
  cause that muscle grouping in the side of your neck to get all tight and
• 1:47
  contract, and that can like lock your neck up to where you really can't
• 1:51
  turn your head. So by adjusting those bones in your neck, that's gonna
• 1:55
  help them move better. The muscles are gonna calm down and free up that
• 1:59
  move mint. Yeah, so that's something that does that happen like right away
• 2:05
  or does that happen over time? How do you end up in a situation
• 2:07
  like that? You know, it can be something that you, like you
• 2:10
  said, you woke up wrong and suddenly you can't turn your head, and
• 2:15
  a lot of people always wait and see how it goes. If it gets
• 2:16
  better, you know, sometimes it'll ease up on its own. You might
• 2:20
  still have some limited range of motion, but it feels better on its own,
• 2:23
  or it's the case where it's not getting better at all and you're getting
• 2:27
  annoyed by it. And the other one I was seeing this week is mowing
• 2:30
  your lawn. Well, if you always are turning the same direction, always
• 2:34
  like looking to the same direction while you mow, especially you know people that
• 2:38
  have big yards or acreages, you're spending a lot of time on that mower.
• 2:43
  So I'm starting to see some more neck tension. But you know,
• 2:46
  torto calls is more of the problem when it's a long, longer effect and
• 2:49
  it's not getting better on its own. I've had that also when we've traveled
• 2:53
  and I'm looking out the window in an airplane. Oh yeah, and then
• 2:55
  I'll get somewhere I'm like, oh, my neck is sort of from like
• 2:58
  looking out right. I'm just fascinated. I'm up there looking at all these
• 3:01
  tiny little dots that are people and all these like look at that anybody car
• 3:06
  down there? So is that torti collis too or is that something different?
• 3:08
  No, that's not quite so. Torto calls is when it's longer a period
• 3:13
  of time that's happening versus a one day thing where your next sore tight torto
• 3:17
  calls would be actually like you literally can't turn your head. If somebody experiences
• 3:22
  that, whether it's an acute issue or if it's something that's been going on
• 3:25
  a while, I would suggest chiropractic is what it sounds like we should be
• 3:29
  having them do, right, Yeah, Chiropractic is a great natural form.
• 3:32
  You know, it's drugless, surgery free. It's a great way to help
• 3:35
  your body heal from the inside out, helping you to recover faster so then
• 3:38
  you're not dealing with that for a longer time as well. If somebody listening
• 3:43
  is either experiencing that or some sort of back pain, or maybe they've just
• 3:46
  been having headaches and they don't know what the heck is going on, if
• 3:50
  they would like to start a chiropractic regiment and come in and see you and
• 3:55
  say, hey, I'd like to give this a whirl in my life.
• 3:58

• 4:00
